Other Quote by Seneca — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”

“If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable.”

“Of all people only those are at leisure who make time for philosophy, only those are really alive. For they not only keep a good watch over their own lifetimes, but they annex every age to theirs. All the years that have passed before them are added to their own. Unless we are very ungrateful, all those distinguished founders of holy creeds were born for us and prepared for us a way of life. By the toil of others we are led into the presence of things which have been brought from darkness into light. We are excluded from no age, but we have access to them all; and if we are prepared in loftiness of mind to pass beyond the narrow confines of human weakness, there is a long period of time through which we can roam.”

“Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.”

“Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.”

“Those who master their path always end up in the same place. Even if the times changes or the way to go there is different, They are certain to reach the same place.”

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

“You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.”

“How do you defeat terrorism? Don't be terrorized.”
